Taliesin West - Frank Lloyd Wright
Taliesin West was built by Frank Lloyd Wright and his apprentices in the 1930s and was constantly expanded and modified by the architect until his death in 1959. Wright created Taliesin West out of the desert, by gathering rocks from the desert floor and sand from the washes to keep the design in balance with the surrounding environment. This site was built with three elements: wood, rock and glass. The site is considered one of the Wright's greatest masterpieces. It was designed to serve as his home, studio and architectural laboratory.
